Viewfinder Protector for D90

Ninestar · 1st July 2009

Hi fellow CSers,

Was wondering is there any protector to cover the viewfinder for the D90 when not in use?

After shooting i realise, dust and prespiration then to get in. Understand that the kit set comes with a mini cap. But don't think that is the one right?

Thanks in advance.

There is not such device as to protect the already very recessed viewfinder. The viewfinder itself is sealed with a gasket to prevent dust and condensation from entering, I did nothing to protect my D50, D80 and now my D300, ans they all work find, with the exception of an occasional shot from the blower bulb and some wiping with lens cloth. As for the mini cap ... RTM (i do not like to use *******)

Nikon D300 Frame
Nikon D300 Chassis
Magnesium alloy chassis with lots of seals and gaskets.
The rear LCD is strengthened with tempered glass.

Buy a weather sealed body Nikon like the D300, D700 or D3 if you are so concerned about a little dust.

my 2cts worth

Thanks for the replies. Is just that the prespiration frm my eye always gets in and I prespire easily.

Will just wipe now and then with a cloth.
